# "Jackson. New Orleans Jany. 8th 1815" (Childs & Inman, 1832)

A bust of Andrew Jackson in uniform sits in an oval medallion beneath an eagle, framed by flags, cannon, shot and swords. The only text names Jackson and the New Orleans victory of 8 January 1815, so the military glory of that battle is attached to his name (transfer). LOC judges it probably a campaign piece of the 1832 race; the sheet itself states no candidacy.
